Lotus at play.

The two superlap Lotuses spent last weekend at Eastern Creek competing in the GT Championship. The yellow one set a new racing lap record in of 1:33.45. The blue one (with Scott Bargwana at the wheel) did a qualifying time of 1:34.43.

Here they are going at it for 12 laps against each other as well as a bunch of Lambos, Ferraris, Aston Martins and some German cars that were so slow you wouldn't know they were even there:

Thanks for the vid mate, downloading now :laugh:

These pesky Lotuses are out there a lot, and now ticking off some big guns, they might end up same fate as Farlap. Tell em not to go to USA and compete or they might get poison fuel or worse.

Seriously though they obviously have an awesome car to start with, but still hats off to them as still top driving and set up and prep, it is no walk in the park.

I am typing whilst waiting for vid to download and should be good.

Most definately, they look like an awesome car to drive. Pity I would never have a hope of fitting in one... oh, and pity about the cost :(

Though having said that I'm pretty sure you could do a HP setup for the cost of a lot of GT-R's getting round, if you were to base it on an elise, put a hard top on it and then do the usual upgrades along with the engine conversion.

*checks bank balance*

Dang...

Dirtgarage give it up will you backyard Bob, try hard, talk it up. Dirtgarage seems to stand for dirt slinger of others and claim to fame. It is a self image thing I guess. Everyone is sick of it and not in the good light. I don't claim to know everything unlike some.

Failed cop unlikely but sounds good, I give everything I do 100% unlike others who bla bla.

You don't have your business or semi backyard business registered, and have no qualifications? to work on cars, or engines. MVIRA take action with guys like you. So I would tread carefully I would think, rather than slandering most performance shops and people like you do, and get warned by moderators, who put up with a lot. Even attempting to insult John Boston on this forum asking him if he is stupid or illiterate. It is people like John and his many contacts that we really need and should appreciate. You are undermining the efforts most are doing to promote this Superlap deal, you probably have about the least experience in circuit racing yet the biggest voice, it is clasisc.

Fun is fun but keep it clean will you and stop the insults and false claims and accusations.

Get your foot out of your mouth Paul. This kind of crap is unwanted by pretty much every single person here.

Ahh just giving him a little poke, maybe that one was a little hard...but, he seems to like it...as he returns the favor from time to time.

delete it if you like

But c'mon..Farlap?...its something every naturalised Australian should know (i think its even in the citizenship test)

Apoligies JP...was indeed a bit below the belt having a dig at your choice of career's...'im extending an olive branch to you'

BTW John, my business partner is a Licenced Automotive Repairer and Engine Reconditioner and is registered with the Motor Traders Association. Defamatory remarks about my business on this forum is against the forum rules and moderators will issue you with a warning for such behaviour....if they are consistent. So be careful.

Hey the drag racing 'smack talk' threads are some of the most light hearted and amusing on here. You roundy roundy boys are always in reading them.

But yes personal insults are a bit low and feel a tad of regret for stooping that low. Sorry again JP

Where were you Roy? I was still hard charging after 3 am Saturday night....and that was with next to no sleep Friday night. Bit hard to have a big night when your almost staying in the outback.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By jdniss · Posted

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
